West Ham United’s forward Marko Arnautovic has hinted at a future transfer move away from the Hammers.
Aunatovic, 29, told Austrian newspaper Kurier that he is at “the best age” for him to “compete with the best players”.
The former Inter Milan and Stoke striker has been in sensational form for the Hammers this season with five goals in 11 appearances already.
“It’s clear that I want to compete with the best players. But in this affair, I totally trust my brother.”
His brother, Danijel, who also doubles up as his agent believes Marko can even get better playing for a top team.
“He’s already playing in the Premier League and that’s where the best players are. But for a player like Marko this cannot be the end.
“He’s a big part of West Ham’s team but I think it’s possible to tease out more of him. For that to happen, he has to play for a top team. Marko is ready for the next step. A player like him should not play against relegation. He should play for the international spots.
“Marko is really enjoying playing for West Ham. He loves that club and the fans. But there is still that feeling, that this cannot be the end. And everybody should understand that.”
The Austrian was linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer and the club remain a favorite to land his services.
